[Equest-users] Full Heat Recovery and low-e ceiling in an Ice Rink

[Justin Elkin]

Happy Friday, 

 

I have an energy model of a community center constructed in EQUEST. The
community center has an ice rink incorporated into it which contains a low-e
ceiling as

well as full heat recovery. We were playing around with some combinations of
having a low-e ceiling in our model and as it turns out, there is not much
savings

between having a low-e ceiling and not having one (about $1,000 a year in
savings with the low-e) in our model. 

 

Has anyone else played around with this and noticed it as well? We are
suspecting that you cannot gain much savings through the use of low-e when
full heat 

recovery is present. Can anyone confirm this or give any comments? 

 

Thank you,
